| - Viscosity is a ability to resist flow. Is an opposite of fluidity.
- Viscosity was the measurement of the thickness of a liquid. An example of this was blood viscosity. The Guardians regularly checked the living conditions of the Trill symbionts in the Caves of Mak'ala, including ion concentration, temperature and viscosity. (DS9: "Equilibrium") In 2370, Mora Pol described Odo in his initial state upon discovery as "a viscous, shapeless form of fluid, a veritable organic broth". (DS9: "The Alternate") The Silver Blood discovered in 2372 was a metallic compound with high viscosity. (VOY: "Demon")
- Viscosity is a measure of the resistance of a fluid to deformation under shear stress. In engineering this gets prominence under lubrication.
- Viscosity is a measure of a fluid's resistance to flow (or deformation). While we normally think of a fluid as having a particular viscosity, some fluids' viscosity change with different kinds of stress. Such fluids are called non-Newtonian. Non-newtonian fluids may be quite viscous when at rest but much less viscous when under stress (such as when they are being shaken or rapidly stirred or vice-versa. The water and cornstarch mix sometimes called oobleck is a familiar and extremely non-newtonian example. See the Wikipedia article about viscosity.

- Viscosity is a measure of a fluid's resistance to flow (or deformation). While we normally think of a fluid as having a particular viscosity, some fluids' viscosity change with different kinds of stress. Such fluids are called non-Newtonian. Non-newtonian fluids may be quite viscous when at rest but much less viscous when under stress (such as when they are being shaken or rapidly stirred or vice-versa. The water and cornstarch mix sometimes called oobleck is a familiar and extremely non-newtonian example. Shear-thinning and pseudo-plasticity. Fluids that become less viscous under shear-stress (stress applied parallell to the object) are called shear-thinning or pseudoplastic. Pseudoplasticity may be the key property provided by the polymers used in bubble juice though this has not yet been demonstrated. Viscosity plays a role in determining the flow rate of bubble juice from the bubble wand or wick, but its role in bubble juice is generally misunderstood. Because commercial bubble juice tends to be noticeably viscous, there is a common misconception that bubble juice generally needs to be viscous ("thick") to work well. Many world-class bubble juice recipes are not very viscous at all. MUST-READ!: Viscosity's role in bubble juice is widely misunderstood.
